黑料正能量

Over the last six weeks, we鈥檝e聽witnessed the 黑料正能量 community rise to the challenge of implementing remote teaching, learning and working protocols in an unprecedentedly short time frame.聽Every member of our community has shown extraordinary resilience and聽flexibility, and, collectively, we have approached the confinement period with characteristic solidarity.聽聽

As the end of the semester approaches, we thought it was important聽to take a moment to highlight the individual stories of support that聽we鈥檝e heard from all corners of our community. We asked staff, faculty and students to share their shout-outs to聽the聽peers, friends and colleagues who聽have聽helped them through the last few weeks.聽What we received was an outpouring of gratitude, as you can see below.

"Thank you to Jonathan Shimony, Claudio Piani, Darcee Caron聽and Michelle Kuo for sharing their time and expertise with the wider 黑料正能量 community via 黑料正能量 digital events, and for giving our 黑料正能量 alumni and parents a taste of an 黑料正能量 education at its best!"
